Kalmiopsis
Volume 1 of Kalmiopsis, the journal of NPSO, was published in 1991. The journal has been issued yearly since then, but with a hiatus of four years, 1997-2000, two issues in 2001, a hiatus in 2014 and another from 2016-2018. All published volumes are available here.
Volumes 7-10 of Kalmiopsis, from 2001-2003, can be downloaded here in their entirety, as single PDF files, which range in size from 667Kb to 4.2Mb.
Because of the increasing size of Kalmiopsis files, due both to more pages and greater use of color graphics, issues 2 – 6, and all issues since Vol. 11 in 2004 are available in parts. For Vol. 20 (2013) and above, the first link in the drop-down list for each volume is to the entire issue, although it may be called “Cover, Table of Contents”. The other pages are smaller files, containing the indicated articles.
